Docking? ✅ Our Blue Docking System team successfully completed soft capture system testing at the Six-Degree-Of-Freedom Dynamic Test facility at NASA's Johnson Space Center. This test completes a key milestone on our Commercial LEO Destinations (CLD) contract. The fully vertically integrated system will fly first on our Blue Moon MK2 Lunar Lander, then on Orbital Reef and future vehicles. This marks the first time we have confirmed the performance of our pressurized docking system in flight-like scenarios, meeting International Docking System Standard requirements.

Congratulations to the NS-38 crew and @BlueOrigin on a successful flight. A doctor, military veteran, entrepreneurs, sustainability advocate, and a leader whose work makes New Shepard missions possible, now experiencing it herself. Six different paths, but one shared experience above the Kármán line.
We just completed our 38th flight of the New Shepard program and the first of 2026. The crew onboard included: Timothy Drexler, Linda Edwards, Alain Fernandez, Alberto Gutiérrez Pascual, Jim Hendren, and Laura Stiles. New Shepard has flown 98 humans (92 individuals) to space.
